The First Sex Robot To Have Humanlike Emotions Is Coming Soon

Trending News: This Sex Robot Can Whisper Sweet Nothings And Fall In Love

Long Story Short

A leading sex doll maker is planning on unveiling a robot with artificial intelligence that can fall in love with you. Owners can select from a list of 12 personality traits and build a "real bond" with their bot.

Long Story

If you didn't fall in love with Scarlett Johansson in Her you're straight up lying. Ditto for Alicia Vikander in Ex-Machina. The personalities of those robots (perhaps something to do with the real-life attractiveness of the actresses) were simply irresistible — and they presented a future that is on its way.

While the dolls are becoming shockingly realistic, even with the ability to talk and have warm humanlike genitals, they're still just hunks of silicone and technology. The dolls might have the physical aspects down, but there's more to sex than just body contact. There are emotions, tenderness and perhaps the whispering of sweet nothings in your ear from time to time. Sex dolls today simply don't fulfill the emotional parts of sex — but they may very soon.

Meet Harmony. She's a sex robot from RealDoll that will be programmed with artificial intelligence and have the ability to establish "real human connection," according to Realbotix CEO Matt McMullen.

“Emotional connections are the foundations of relationships and that’s what we are simulating," McMullen said to Daily Star. “And it’s emotions which add the X Factor to sex. I think two people can meet in a bar, have sex the same night and not remember each other’s names and say well that was fun. But that’s different sex than when you actually get to know someone and you bond with them intellectually and emotionally.”

Harmony will be hooked up to an app that allows you to select one of 12 different personality traits including sexual, kind, shy, friendly, naive and intellectual.

To make sure the machine continues to learn what you like, you'll be able to rate the quality of the simulated personality from one to three.

McMullen says Harmony will have a good memory and will be full of surprises. Also, “The A.I. is prone to falling in love with you."

Harmony is expected to be released in April and will cost somewhere around $15,000.

How realistic will the robot's voices and personality actually be?

Drop This Fact

Adobe's new Photoshop for voice could make it possible for the robot to simulate the voice of your partner in just 20 minutes of recording, as pointed out by AI ethicist Oliver Bendel in an interview with Inverse.
